How will teachers adapt to the one-to-one teaching environment?
The Windham School District is well aware of the need for professional development to ensure the success of the one-to-one digital learning environment. We recognize that this is the single most critical component of a successful digital learning environment. Members of the planning team have already received their designated laptop and have begun exploring and working collaboratively to effectively integrate technology into the curriculum. New staff will receive their laptops in the summer with time to acclimate to them independently before receiving 5 full days of technology training prior to the start of the school year. Throughout the school year, continued teacher professional development, collaboration and training periods will focus on effectively integrating technology into the curriculum. A Technology Integration Specialist will be available to provide direct training and support for teachers throughout the school year.
